Rising Rivals set binder is where a full Rising Rivals set goes. This card fills one slot there. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Gengar can fill a slot in Generation 1 binder (Kanto). Themed lists that include this exact card are Gengar and the Gastly line. I still need this card.
